What features would you all like to see added in the next PS4 firmware update?

 

Some of the features that have been confirmed to be coming in a future firmware update are:

 

  • Sony Pulse Elite Headset Support( I think also bluetooth headsets in general too?)
  • MP3 Support
  • DLNA Support
  • Suspend/resume mode
  • Sharing videos to YouTube

If there are others that I missed let me know.

 

What I would like to see added are:

 

  • Ability to pause downloads
  • Be able to follow a channel and or user right from the streaming page when watching on PS4.
  • Video quality of the live streams increased when watching on PS4.

Thats all I can think of right now.

You pretty much listed everything I would like to see.

Off the top of my head, I can also think of a few OS/UI fixes id like to see, such as adding sorting/filtering options in the Ps store.

Also, allow us to disable the activity feed or at least give us control over what gets displayed.

For a feature that is highly unlikely, id like to have the ability to use external storage.

My wish list:

1) Some sort of interface for if a patch is installing.  You can see patch downloads as they go, but the actual install isn't there.  Also they keep note of the install progress in the downloads, doesn't make sense.

2) Not sure if it was a Killzone only thing or what, but there was a patch for it.  It told me there was a patch and let me play anyways.  However I didn't know if it was actually getting the patch, if the patch was going to install, or what.  But having some sort of visual patch system (ie: patch for X is downloading),  also maybe a notification that an install is going.

3) I would like the option to pin/unpin things from the main bar.  

ie) Remove music/movies unlimited.   Make netflix a tile not a sub tile, that sort of thing.

I have DLNA built into my new TV so streaming support isn't that important to me.  Also, external storage for game installs via USB would be awesome.

It is still kind of confusing, I couldn't tell if it was downloading, installing, etc.  There was no in-game indication or even system notification.

The original PS3 models had PS2 support, but it was removed in later models to reduce the price. :)

There was 2 versions.   The original PS3's has the Emotion Engine chip, so it could do native ps2 emulation.  To reduce the costs they stopped including the chip, and did software emulation.   They eventually removed it as it just didn't work as well.

Interesting! :) Didn't realize they tried to emulate it after removing the chip.

Definitely agree there. Some general customization would be very welcomed.

 

Yea, the GUI is pretty easy to navigate, and is fast.. but it is very lacking, and I see it becoming pretty rough as it starts to fill up.  At the moment I only have one person on my friends that has a ps4 so 99% of the what's new content is "Firey21 played Killzone Shadow Fall" Which I find weird it tells me what I did.

:laugh: Yeah I noticed that too.

It seems like Sony and MS focused on the performance side as priority one and decided to build/improve their OSes function wise over time after launch.

There should be a PlayStation 2 emulator, since there wasn't in the PS3.

 

Yes there was. My $660 PS3 read CF cards, SD cards, Memory Stick pro duos, allowed 4 mice to be connected to it at one time, and also played every playstation console game released.. All PS1, PS2 and PS3. the 40GB model after mine had PS2 software support as well. All CFW consoles can use the 'software emulator' which works OK... Sony are just cheap.

 

Your only luck is re-writes of the games into 'digital copies'. It'd be a considerable amount of work to software re-write the PS2 in X86 arch. *cough**cough*

    • Laptop Processor Question

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
